A series of ocean waves, each 6.0 m from crest to crest, move past an observer at a rate of 2 waves per second. Calculate the velocity of the waves.
The Ice cream machine i got for my birthday is in my office i want to make the shaft to reduce the vibration while dispensing the icream I will be eating all spring. the maximum (peak) acceleration should not be more than 6 g and know that the six-eights outer diameter and one-sixteenth wall thickness shaft vibrates at a 6.57 kHz. If you wanted to measure the maximum displacement, what kind of sensor would you use? (2 g = 19.612 m/s2) measure the max displacement too.
